St. Cloud police are seeking information about a robbery that occurred at the Macy's in Crossroads Center at about 5 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 8, according to Assistant Police Chief Jeff Oxton.

Responding officers learned a male suspect followed a 70-year-old Staples woman into the north doors of Macy's. Once inside the store, the suspect grabbed the woman's purse, which was hung over her shoulder; the action caused the woman to fall to the ground.

After the woman fell, the suspect dragged the woman by the purse, kicked her and ultimately stole the purse, according to the news release issued by Oxton.

A 23-year-old woman who saw the incident approached as the suspect ran out the store's north doors. The witness ran after the suspect, who eventually dropped the purse in the Target parking lot.

Oxton said no weapons were used or observed during the robbery.

The suspect is described as a white male approximately 16-18 years old, standing about 5 feet 9 inches tall with a heavy build. He was wearing a white T-shirt, black athletic pants, white shoes and an orange and white stocking cap.

The 70-year-old woman received minor injuries and was treated on scene.

Officers searched the area but were unable to locate the suspect. Store surveillance cameras captured an image of the suspect.

St. Cloud police are asking anyone with information about the incident or suspect to call the police department at 251-1200, or Tri-County Crime Stoppers at 255-1301, 1-800-255-1301, or at www.tricountycrimestoppers.org.
